The Swedish computing infrastructure
Erwin Laure, Péter Kacsuk · WestminsterResearch (University of Westminster) · 2010
Sweden aims at providing a full range of compute and storage services, ranging from highthroughput Grid systems to leading edge massively parallel HPC systems to Swedish scientists.This infrastructure is coordinated by a metacentrum, SNIC, the Swedish National Infrastructure for Computing, responsible for the strategic and scientific development and funding of computing and storage resources in Sweden.This infrastructure is being used by a wide variety of Swedish scientists and builds the backbone of the recently launched national e-Science special research programs.It also builds the basis for Sweden's participation in major European infrastructures, particularly EGI and DEISA/PRACE.In this talk we give an overview on the Swedish Computing Infrastructure with a particular focus on its usage and relations to international efforts.
